Well after thinking i considered what A'denn had said and agreed the cup gaunts still looked too much like cups, so while i contemplated where to go ner vod bloodclaw bailed me out with a set of free snowtrooper gauntlet peices(thanks again ner vod) WHich i spent a couple days deciding how to assemble then getting that done i finaly superglued the interior throwing out my previous idea of velcro and used putty to cover the outside seam i touched up a few spots and started attaching little tid bits but without further delay here is the pair (they still need time with the dremel again and a little cleaning up before paint but they should be done relatively sooner)

right one

left one still need to add bits to this one but here it is.
as always i appreciate feedback of any kind
